The Patuxet tribe was a tributary of the Wampanoag Confederacy in the area known today as Massachussettes during the 17th Century.
Patuxet was the old abandoned village they settled in.
Squanto, a member of the Patuxet tribe, was captured by English explorer Thomas Hunt in 1614 and taken to Spain as a slave. He eventually escaped and made his way to England, where he learned English and lived with a group of traders. In 1619, he returned to North America with a group of fishermen, only to find that his tribe had been decimated by disease. He then played a crucial role in helping the Pilgrims survive their first winter in 1620.
It was not until March 16/26, some three months after the Pilgrims arrived, that a tall Indian walked boldly into the plantation crying out, "Welcome! Welcome, Englishmen!" The Pilgrims were startled when the Indian named Samoset introduced himself to the Pilgrims in English. Samoset, an Abnaki Indian from Maine, had been kidnapped by explorers and taken to England
Many of the tribes that used wigwams also used other dwellings such as longhouses, so there is an overlap in building traditions. In addition, not all wigwams were made the same; there were conical (tipi-shaped) versions as well as domed and elongated oval types; coverings could be of bark sheets, woven mats of plant fibre, hides or trade blankets.Some of the tribes that used wigwams either exclusively or in combination with other dwellings are:Ojibwe/Ojibwa/ChippewaMaliseetDelaware (Lenape)AbenakiMi'kmaqNIpmucAlgonquinMenomineeSaukFoxCreeMontagnaisNarragansettWampanoag (includes Massachusett, Nauset, Patuxet, Nantucket and others)OttawaShawneePotawatomiWinnebagoPequot and MoheganMahicanNianticMontaukShinnecockPoosepatuckWappingerMiamiHuron/WendatBeothukThe term wickiup is often used interchangeably with wigwam but I make a clear distinction between the two. Wickiups were generally slightly different shelters of the western and south-western USA, often with only a covering of brushwood and more of a sun screen than a dwelling. The use of the word wigwam for "tipi" is completely incorrect.
Often times people conducting independent research on Pilgrims and their journey to America in 1620 label them as Puritans. The Pilgrims were NOT Puritans, but belonged to an English group of humble background known as Separatists. These Separatists desired separation from the Church of England that closely resembled Catholicism. Puritans, on the other hand, were a group of radical reformists who emerged early in the 17th century, with goals to reform, or simply put purify the Church of England. The two groups maintained belief structures entirely independent from each other, moved to the new world at different times, and were led by different people, but yet are often mistaken for each other.The Mayflower arrived at what is now Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on November 11, 1620. They remained on the ship the following day, as it was a Sunday, for prayer and worship. They assembled a small boat and actually set foot on land on November 13th. In the boat, they made three expeditions over the next few weeks exploring the coastline. Having selected a site for their settlement, they sailed the Mayflower across to an abandoned Native American settlement called Patuxet, now Plymouth. The Mayflower dropped anchor there on December 16th. That is where the legendary Plymouth Rock can be found. [Source: Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford, Chapter X.]Cape Cod is, obviously, nowhere near the area that is nowknown as Virginia. However, in the late 16th century, a large section of the Atlantic coastline, from Cape Fear to the Gulf of St Lawrence, was claimed by the British and all of it was called "Virginia". Various colonizing companies were granted royal charters to settle the territory. In 1612, the third charter of The Virginia Company of London granted control over lands between 34 degrees north and 41 degrees north, which included most of Long Island. The Virginia Company of Plymouth [England] was granted a charter for the lands between 38 degrees north and 45 degrees north. Both companies could grant land patents to colonists who settled between 38 and 41 degrees north. There were several individuals in the Pilgrims' congregation who wanted nothing at all to do with the Virginia Company of London; that is apparently why, although they had not made their objective clear when they set out, the captain of the Mayflower was directed to land north of 41 degrees latitude. That placed the Pilgrims away from the control of the Virginia Company of London and also away from the Dutch, who had competing claims over New Netherland. While the Pilgrims were at sea, the colonizing companies were re-organized (again) and, by the time they actually landed at Cape Cod, the place was no longer under the charter of any company with "Virginia" in its name.
Patuxet tribe was created in 1617.

Yes, Squanto was a member of the Patuxet tribe, which was located in the area that is now Massachusetts in the United States. Squanto played a significant role as a translator and mediator between the Patuxet people and the English settlers who arrived at Plymouth Rock.

The Patuxet were part of the Wampanoag group and spoke a dialect of the Natick language - one of the Algonquian languages.In Natick the word for a house is wetu. this is what the Patuxet tribe called their own small, dome-shaped dwellings covered with sheets of bark, but we know them today as wigwams.
Squanto was a member of the Patuxet band of the Wampanoagtribe.
things they had hunted and crops they had grown :)
